Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

Ryan is a wrestler trying to make weight. He currently weighs 200 lbs. If he cuts 2 lbs. per week, how many weeks will it take h
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The inequality for this problem is

200 - 2w < 175 => 2w > 200-175 => 2w > 25 => w > 12.5

The conclusion is that Ryan will have less than 175 lbs after 13-th week.

Good luck!!!

Answer:

Camille did it right.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                           4x-2y=8

Charlize:                                                      |         Camille:

-2y=8+4x                                                     |         -2y=8-4x

y=-4-2x                                                        |          y=-4+2x

The right answer:

4x-2y=8

  +2y +2y

4x=8+2y

-8 -8

2y=4x-8

2y/2=4x/2-8/2

y=2x-4  or y=-4+2x

So Camille is right, because she got y=-4+2x.

Which ordered pairs are soultions to the inequality y-2x&lt;-3
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

<em>(-3, 3/2)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality function y-2x<-3, to get the solution, we will need to find the x and y-intercept of the inequality function

y-intercept occurs at x = 0

Substitute x = 0  into the expression

y - 2(0) < -3

y < -3

Find the x-intercept by substituting y = 0 into the expression

0 - 2x < -3

-2x < -3

x > 3/2

<em>Hence the ordered pair is (x, y) = (-3, 3/2)</em>

What is a number with exactly 2 factors and what is a number with more than 2 factors
Morgarella [4.7K]
A number with more than two factors is called a composite number. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite. It has only one factor, itself. A prime number is a counting number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Use this simple interest calculator to find A, the Final Investment Value, using the simple interest formula: A = P(1 + rt) where P is the Principal amount of money to be invested at an Interest Rate R% per period for t Number of Time Periods. Where r is in decimal form; r=R/100; r and t are in the same units of time.Use this simple interest calculator to find A, the Final Investment Value, using the simple interest formula: A = P(1 + rt) where P is the Principal amount of money to be invested at an Interest Rate R% per period for t Number of Time Periods. Where r is in decimal form; r=R/100; r and t are in the same units of time.

A=p(1+rt)=5000(1+0.12*6)

 =500(1.72)

  =8600
